Mülheim (Bad Honnef)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mülheim shipping settlement

Mülheim is a locality in the city of Bad Honnef in the North Rhine-Westphalian Rhein-Sieg district .

It goes back to a ship settlement that was the location of a shipyard and the so-called Löwenburger Schiffsmühle ("Rheinmühle"), which gave the place its name . This anchored off Mülheim in the eastern arm of the Rhine and, according to a wisdom from 1450, was an archbishop's property; otherwise it was owned by the Löwenburg lords and later the dukes of Berg . All six honors from Honnef belonged to their district . In the port of Mülheim, cranes were used to load the wine , which was intensively cultivated in Honnef at the time - this was exclusively via the so-called (Rhine) cranes resting on a ship , also owned by Löwenburg and later Bergisch - as well as stones and ores from the numerous pits of the region. Before 1653, the ship's mill was destroyed by ice . The port was abandoned at the latest after the arm of the Rhine on the Grafenwerth island in front of Mülheim was separated from the main stream in 1790.

For a long time, Mülheim was the only place directly on the Rhine in the Honnef parish, which existed until 1806 . The paved stone road used to lead to the main town, which is about 20 m above and one kilometer to the east . At the end of Steinstrasse was Honnef's first (private) bathing establishment in the form of a small wooden building. With the construction of the railway line on the right bank of the Rhine at the end of the 19th century and the construction of federal highway 42 in the 1950s, Mülheim was cut off from the rest of the city. Since then it has been located below a bridge structure ( Honnefer Kreuz ). The foothills of Lohfeld connect to the south, to the north the settlement is bounded by the Ohbach , which is located shortly before its confluence with the oxbow lake of the Rhine . Some houses from the time the port was in operation have been preserved, including a half-timbered house from 1758. There used to be an emulsion factory directly on the railway line that produced cod-liver oil emulsion.

The name of the place was the center for market and in the 16th century to today's Bad Honnef parish transferred, where from 1555 to the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806 the Honschaft Mülheim of the parish consisted Honnef. In 1663 it had around 340 inhabitants, in 1828 it had 380 and in 1843 it had 491 inhabitants. The Mülheimer Straße that runs there still bears witness to this honor today .
